Once Upon Eternity

“And so is it written, the first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have born the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery: …” 1st Corinthians 15:45-50

Once upon eternity
began to be we know
A reflection of the One,
to come again He told

Translated from the Life which was,
passed down on us to be
Born then in sin unto darkness,
for partaking of death's tree

God said dying thou shalt die,
yet then Satan told his lie
He said ye shall be as gods,
when pride's wisdom opens your eyes

Reality was once known,
before the dark dimensions found a place
Now strong delusions fall,
upon an unbelieving terrestrial race

Thus we hear echoes of the past,
seen in the reflections of the Last
When in a realm of solid mass,
A redeemable creature was cast

Never known of or before,
for to open up the door
To bring all things under subjection,
into His fullness forevermore

Behold the Lamb He came,
the Way, the Truth and the Life
The Majesty of all Ages,
to bear the pain and die

His sinless blood to satisfy,
The Law of The Most High
His own unto Himself,
He alone and no one else

His mercy is extended unto all,
for transformation is the call
Ye must be Born Again of the Holy Spirit,
for a living soul did fall.

“Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he can not enter into the kingdom of God.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.”
John 3:5-7
